Cyan announced that it has collaborated with Ember, Micrel and Radiocrafts to bring a family of gateway solutions for distributed radio networks.
Cyan has combined its new USB/Ethernet gateway module with radio technologies from its partners to develop a portfolio of interoperable, production-ready gateways and nodes with support for a range of wireless protocols including ZigBee, Wireless M-Bus, GPRS and Cy-Net. It is claimed that each gateway is built on Cyan’s USB/Ethernet module which is designed with a radio agnostic motherboard to provide a flexible production-ready platform for a range of radio technology interfaces. Cyan’s modules combine an eCOG1X 16-bit microcontroller (MCU) with a USB interface and an Ethernet port and can be deployed as an embedded web-server interface to control lines and sensors, or simply act as an Ethernet connection or link to USB hosted peripherals.
Kenn Lamb, CEO of Cyan, said, “By partnering with Ember, Micrel and Radiocrafts, Cyan can now offer customers a range of low cost, highly versatile end-to-end solutions for distributed radio systems.”
The Cy-Net gateway uses Cyan’s proprietary radio networking technology and is currently available on 433MHz, 470MHz, 868MHz and 915MHz frequency bands using Micrel RF Devices. Cy-Net is for use in closed systems where all equipment within a radio network is supplied by one vendor.
Cyan’s gateways and nodes all come with extensive firmware support for USB, TCP/IP, Ethernet, GPRS, FreeRTOS real time operating system and drivers for a range of radio technologies.
